My love for pokemon spawned on Christmas, when I was about 5 or 6. My mamaw got all of her grand kids a brand new gameboy volor, and what was one of the newest games around: Pokemon Yellow. Before then, I had only seen the show once or twice, and I had really liked it when it was on! I always thought it was a bit sad that I was never able to really keep up with the show though. but I remember being soooo excited, because I could just play it rather than hope to catch the show. Eventually, I did manage to start keeping up with the so, less so now that I'm 19. But I'd be lying if I said I stopped watching it all together. ;D But unlike the anime, I've been constant with the games, always getting them pretty much as soon as they hit the shelves. The reason for still loving it is not only because of the extreme feeling of nostalgia, but also they're just lovable creatures and the games are simply addicting! :3
